Sacred Ranch

Dogs can’t talk

By Abby Kay MendoncaPublished 3 years ago • 1 min read
Shameless excuse to drop a photo of my cat, Royce.

Are you going to try to kill it?

“No, not on sacred ground.”

I thought I was thinking to myself. Dax focused on me, and not the escaped bunny hopping past his kennel.

“Did you just speak?!”

Dax barked at my unintentional command, saying nothing. I was concerned for the rabbit’s safety, but it disregarded the dog.

“Dax, if you can talk, say something.”

Dax stared at me with his usual, empty expression: no words.

I shook off the weirdness of the situation. Walking towards home, I greeted the barn cat with pets.

“Dogs can’t talk,” the same voice said.
